And I liked that three highly disparate couples find their disparate forms of romantic happiness. It's almost Shakespearean. (Okay, I go too far.)

No, no. I think you've got something here. There is a very Shakespearean feel to the humor: plays on words, broad sexual jokes, the war of the sexes, supernatural creatures symbolizing our lack of control over the natural universe. Very good analysis. I'm blown away.

The Mulder/Scully sex comedy has to fit into the tone of the rest of the play story, otherwise it's out of balance. Plus Scully's little unconscious digs at Mulder allow a natural segue into Kopeck's feelings of confusion and alienation at the dating scene in the new millenium. Sorry. Can you tell how tired I am? Maybe I can fix this before you see it.
